Thank you for your explanation. I understand. Cheers!

Hey, I've never had anything against you personally, quite the contrary - because I knew from the very beginning that you and zonbie were a couple I was biased towards you, because I was one of the first (I think) to make friends with him here shortly after he began sifting.

Please don't get the wrong impression: I think some of your sifts are of the finest quality. I'll explain the reasons for each DV because you asked and there are always clear and definitive reasons for me downvoting, but the short story (not the reason, rather something that serves as a cause) is that I've been getting the impression that you and your man have been lately sifting for the sake of getting things sifted, not for the sake of *quality. Now, I'm no saint here either, no-one is but I'm always trying enforce this rule on myself - which, combined with my and others' recent incentives (see Rottenseed's Sift Talk on downvoting and my Poll on queue escape limit) to downvote more, resulted in said downvotes.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Wednesday-Addams-Speedpainting - I watched it, saw no way it would stand above all the other speedpainting videos on the sift, of which my opinion is that there are waaay too many, and downvoted.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Nihhh-Noo-Nahh-Weuu-Mah-Teef - I absolutely loathed the commentary, I usually do on those "Americas funniest videos". I'm even unsure I'd have upvoted had it been something more decent, it simply seemed completely unfunny to me. Aah, maybe I'm just touchy about this, you know, weddings and all (mine was less than 2 years ago).

And the World in Conflict Soviet Assault trailers - I gave the Hydrogen bomb one a major upvote, because I really, really liked it, but I thought the other two trailers clearly paled in comparison (and were just plain bad videogame trailers). Also, I just don't think submitting the 3 of them simultaneously was the best way to go...

Hey, chin up, you're way ahead of me as it is, so even if you disagree with what I've written here completely, just think of all the upvotes you ARE getting

In reply to this comment by LadyDeath:
do you have something against me lately or is just an simple coincidence you voted against 3 of my videos in a row huh? Just a question...I mean 1 is ok but 3 in a row wow this a record...

>> ^Arg:
^America dropped one uranium and one plutonium bomb on Japan. They were both fission devices. Yield 13 - 21 kilotons.
This test was of a hydrogen bomb. It is a fusion device and much more powerful. Yield 1800 kilotons. Now that makes you think!


Still very disturbing either way.

it's an animation of the Tsar hydrogen bomb, here's the real deal:

1 food calorie is really a kilo-calorie of chemistry persuasion, each of which is 4.184 joules.

An explosion equivalent to 1 megaton (a small hydrogen bomb) is equivalent to 4.184×10^15 Joules (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent )

So, 4.184×10^15 / (170 * 1000 * 4.184) = 5.8824 x 10^9 Ranchero Chicken Soft Tacos. (i.e. 6 billion, i.e. one delicious taco for everyone on Earth.)

A Tzar Bomba, at 50 megatons, would be 50 tacos for everyone on Earth. And an epidemic of scurvy.

Wikipedia notes that carbohydrates have higher energy density than TNT, so if you actually measured nuclear explosions in mega-tons of tacos, it would be a smaller number than mega-tons of TNT.

Let's see... a Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco has 170 calories.

Anybody up to the task? How many of said tacos would it take to equal the energy stored in a hydrogen bomb?

Our national understanding of nuclear physics depends on it!

What about the hydrogen bombs Xenu dropped on the frozen aliens to "extra-kill" them?

just for the record, this is a hydrogen bomb.
